I stopped for lunch at the Town of Topiary Tea Room, which offers a range of home-baked food and Devonshire teas. I was feeling adventurous so I chose one of Wendy’s home-made rabbit pies. Having never tried one before, I was interested to see what they were like. It was very tasty and if I had any room left I probably would’ve tried one of their wallaby pies as well.

You’ll often see Wendy and Rodney’s food van at shows and events around the north west selling their rabbit and wallaby pies and other assorted goodies.

When I was in Railton I also visited Seven Sheds Brewery and Meadery. Seven Sheds opened in 2008 and attracts around 5,000 visitors a year. Roughly half interstate and half international visitors pass through their doors during this time.

Tourists: Seven Sheds in Railton Tasmania

Seven Sheds is owned and operated by Willie Simpson and Catherine Stark. Besides the brewery, meadery and hop garden, there’s also an established, purpose-built tasting room.

Purpose built tasting room: Seven Sheds

Willie and Catherine also run brewery tours, have cellar door sales and can cater for groups by arrangement. There’s a focus on using fresh local produce to create the interesting flavours in every tipple. They also grow hops on site using organic methods and use local honeys for their mead.

Seven Sheds Brewery and Meadery has an Open Day Hop Harvest in March and an Oktoberfest Day as well. You can also find their beers at around thirty outlets throughout Tasmania and on tap at select locations (Cradle Mountain Chateau, Mole Creek Hotel and Lark Distillery in Hobart). If you want to know more about their range of beers and ales or order online you can check out the Seven Sheds website.

Rabbit pie – yum!
I can recommend the beers from Seven Sheds. I got a pack of 3 when we were there.
The Willie Warmer is an excellent beer on a cold night. You drink it at room temperature or even mulled. I’ve got a feeling that the Elephants Trunk is a heavy beer where you don’t need many to do the job.
(Now that I’m a teatotaller, it’s all a distant memory)!
